Decisive Action

The hacking scandal has been rough,
And there is much that needs repair.
Upon the villains we'll be tough,
While to the victims we'll be fair.

So many folk have suffered much;
As decent folk we cannot fail
To sympathise with victims such
As Rupert and the Daily Mail.

It's wrong to think we'll swindle you
Because we're in cahoots with crooks:
No public service is more true
Than playing horsey with La Brooks.

It's wrong to say we hesitate,
But neither should we go too far:
We shall not shirk mature debate,
While keeping things much as they are.
